I’m on Fedora. Unless I’m mistaken, playing in native resolution still uses FSR/DLSS for anti aliasing, there are no other anti aliasing options. I would have liked to have a choice like in most games. The game isn’t a smooth experience, even in areas where I’m at 60 fps. Every turn of the camera makes it go 1-2 fps down breaking vsync, which is quite noticeable playing on A CRT. I also tried on my IPS monitor and the performance is more or less the same at 1440p. I miss HDR, I had an HDR monitor but it started breaking and got a refund, and I spent that money to partially fund my 9070 XT.
I haven’t played Cronos today yet, the hospital was quite tense, but for some reason for me the game isn’t as unnerving as say Silent Hill 2 remake or first person survival horror games. Still the atmosphere is incredible. I survived the morgue quite well, but I spent a lot of ammo and I was left with very few bullets, which is going to be a problem really soon. I already had to punch a mid-boss to death before arriving to the hospital lol.
To be honest, I find DLAA to be quite a good form of anti-aliasing, almost as good as DLDSR. I don’t have much personal experience with FSR though as I have an Nvidia card.
I guess that screen tearing is a result of CRT and being locked into Vsync? I used G-Sync and never had any screen tearing issues.
Shame about your monitor, HDR is addictive when you get used to it.
Yeah, Cronos is a survival horror that emphasises survival over horror in my opinion. It isn’t really too scary, just atmospheric and with cool lore and story. It’s more about scraping by on the edge of resources and ammo than it is scaring the shit out of you.
FSR 4 is fine, but since I’m playing on a CRT, it’s upscaling from lower resolutions, which is less than ideal. That’s why I prefer other AA solutions for my use case. I think the hiccups came from the DP to VGA adapter. I bought a high-end Startech in anticipation to receiving my new CRT monitor, but when I received the monitor it turns out the adapter only gave me the option to use 60hz refresh rate at any resolution (it wasn’t the case with the other, smaller monitor, strange). I swapped it with an older Startech adapter I was using until now and I can set higher refresh rates at any resolution with my new monitor and the hiccups are gone. Speaking of which, I might have gone a bit too far, it’s a 20 inch monitor and it’s huge 😅
Edit: In Alan Wake’s case it’s not even upscaling but it still looks kinda blurry.
